AEW Holiday Bash lineup updated
Kenny Omega and The Young Bucks will team up for the first time in more than two years at AEW Holiday Bash.
AEW announced during Wednesday’s Dynamite Winter is Coming episode that Omega and Matt and Nick Jackson of The Young Bucks will team up against Kazuchika Okada, Hechicero, and Konosuke Takeshita of The Don Callis Family on the combined Dynamite/Collision Holiday Bash special set for Wednesday, December 17.
The $1 million that was won by The Young Bucks at Full Gear will be up for grabs in the trios match set for Holiday Bash. The match came about after Callis issued a challenge to The Young Bucks to find a partner for a trios bout with the $1 million at stake. The Bucks were aligned with Callis when they won the match at Full Gear, but split from him in the aftermath.
Matt and Nick approached Omega to ask him to be their partner in a backstage segment on this week’s Dynamite. It will be the first time that the core members of The Elite have teamed since a trios match on the August 2, 2023 Dynamite according to Cagematch.
Also official for Holiday Bash, FTR will put their AEW Tag Team titles on the line against Juice Robinson and Austin Gunn of The Bang Bang Gang.
The annual Dynamite Diamond battle royal will also take place on the December 17 Holiday Bash in Manchester, England.
